Then he pulled up images of an article which reported how a drug ring was taken down near ...

He asked us all if we spend 30 minutes a day prepping our physical bodies by taking care of our appearance or eating. Then he asked if we spend that much time developing our spiritual selves. He challenged us to develop spi...
